| Gremlin's Gold |
This is the cave Alexi told you about. The stolen message he wants is in a treasure room in the NE corner but getting there is difficult. This cave is very confusing. There are gremlins all over the place trying to confound you. You will come across dead ends and secret doors everywhere and there are portals which transport you to other parts of the cave.
As well as lots of gremlins which are continually regenerated, there are also a few poison fungi.
In this case it is almost impossible to describe this cave in words, so I have decided to produce an enlarged map which can be opened in a seperate window. A click on the above image should open the enlarged version in a new Window. This will only work if pop-up windows are allowed for this site (homepages.uni-regensburg.de).
There are nine portals in this dungeon.
| location | destination | ||
| 1 | on north wall not far from the lake | d | Podium with chest. (see Chest at C). |
| 2 | on the north wall of the cave | f | a room with only a few skulls (same destination as Portal 6). To get back into the main part of the cave you have to jump off a ledge, thereby hurting yourself. |
| 3 | in the NE corner of the cave | d | Podium with chest. (see Chest at C). |
| 4 | NW corner | a | NE corner. There are lots of barries (some you can walk through) and a Demon and two Imps behind the pillars. |
| 5 | northernmost of two portals in north of the cave. | g | moves you back to the entrance. |
| 6 | southernmost of two portals in north of the cave. | f | a room with only a few skulls (same destination as Portal 2). To get back into the main part of the cave you have to jump off a ledge, thereby hurting yourself. |
| 7 | S und W of NE corner (directly south of demon and imps). | b | Catwalk to another portal. |
| 8 | central area east of pool | e | hidden room in SW, contains nothing. |
| 9 | Catwalk on the eastern side of the cave | c | near portal and hidden door on north wall |
Various points are marked on the map.
